NEw YoRH, Feb. Ar. G. Dun & Co.,
In their weekly trado review, cay: Panics
abroad and strikes at homs have tested
the strength OF all the markets during tho
past week. Ovor-haatily, 1t Is inferred,
that panlcs on foreign exchanges mean
war. They may mean only callspse OF
unusual speculation which has prevailed
OF late, especially at Berlin. Nows In the
strict sonse does not afford much evidence
OF war. But rumors and apprehension
have depressed stocks and liltod grain.
Thus tested tho markets. have shown un-
expected steadiness. Foreign unloading
Of American stockn have caused but mod.
crate decline In prices, while even in the
grain market the advance has been con-
servstiye and limited, and othor markets
have changed but little. Probably grain
would have risen more had not the great
strikes exerted restraining influence.
Transporters arc moving freight more
freely than week ago. lQ-
DRY GOODS AND wooLKNs.
The dry goods trade, though affected by
uncertainty as to transportation, still i'm
proves with respect to cottons, while the
hesitation In woo!ens increases.
Boston sales OF wool are 20 percent
larger than last year, with prices barely
steady. The imports for 1886 were 49,

THE MONEY MARKET.
The money market 10 little higher as

In BRIEF AND TO THE PoMT.-Dyspepsia
is dreadful. Disordered liver is misery.
Indigestion is foe to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one of
the most complicated and wonderful things
IN existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, ir-
regular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad bus
iness and making the American people so
healthy that they can enjoy their meals
and be happy.
Remember; - No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower brings
health and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask
your druggist for bottle. Seventy five
cents.
